There were absolutely protests under Obama. Things were bad.

There are bigger protests now under Trump. Things are worse.

Like I said, the math is pretty simple.

Please stop trying to rewrite history.

That only tells a small portion of the story. Here’s the full picture:

Obama also created DACA to protect kids without legal immigration status.

Trump has used ICE to arrest hundreds of US citizens, including government officials. Trump has expanded detention centers and instituted a brutally punitive system, including sending hundreds of people to El Salvador prison. Trump has expanded ICE to a larger force than most nations’ standing armies.

Anyone who thinks that the immigration system is better now than a decade ago must have their fingers in their ears.

Why are you pretending that liberals have not been calling for humane immigration reform for the past 40 years?

There are significantly more protests against ICE now because ICE is significantly worse. It’s basic math.

Yep, I even remember reading that people wanted the Nobel committee to rescind the prize after he launched the murder drone program.

TLDR That’s what happens when circles get squished together.

I never heard of this before, but it looks similarly easy to deploy. It requires Javascript instead of Python, which is the same to me although I’m sure others will have a strong preference for one or the other. Pretty nice interface though.

Genuinely curious: What advantage would you have from running it in a docker container?

In this economy, that’s the one present everyone can afford.

LOL well at least you know I’m not an AI. Fixing now.

I also had a lot of difficulty setting up NextCloud. Based on the various reviews and comments, it seems like I may have actually dodged a bullet.

In general, as I’ve tried different self-hosting solutions, I’ve found that using a dedicated solution for each purpose has given me better results. I use Radicale for contacts and Calendar, Immich for photos, Jellyfin for media (Navidrome for music is great, but I ended up keeping my music library in Jellyfin because I liked the client apps better).

I’m using OwnCloud for filesync, although I’m also testing CopyParty, which is pretty phenomenal and stupid simple.

Tailscale is GOAT. Some people have speculated that it could be subject to enshitification some day. It’s managed by a for-profit company, but everything they do is open source. There are already well-tested forks like HeadScale if you ever have the need to self-host it in the future.

NextCloud seems great if you can get it working and provides a lot of services in one. Some people have said that causes bloat and slowdown, so there are two sides to the coin.

Syncthing is likely not a good option for a file server. It’s great if you want to have a shared file or folder on multiple devices, especially if you just want to transfer files quickly and seamlessly. It’s fantastic at what it does, but it’s not a file server. There are a lot of opportunities for error when using Syncthing.

I’m very sorry to hear that. What is your family support situation look like? That’s one of the most important factors.

Literally hundreds of studies showing that if people can buy a house before they’re 40, they will have more children.

You can’t legislate your way into a higher birth rate. Even authoritarian countries have tried and failed. But you can legislate systemic changes that help people with housing, childcare, and groceries.

I had 11, so it’s definitely less than that.

And here I’ve been throwing away all my dead mosquitoes like a sucker.

Yeah, it operates like a VPN. On my wife’s phone, I installed tailscale and set it as the “always on” VPN so that she never has to touch it. The same goes for computers. You can have it set as a startup app, and it should automatically connect every time.

On some devices, if you want to use another VPN, it can get complicated.

Tailscale only responds to the range of connections that it’s in charge of, so it doesn’t interfere with connecting to normal internet, etc.

I use Tailscale. It’s much simpler. Just install it on the host and client devices and everything is securely connected.

You may also be interested in Calibre Web Automated (which is similar but with more features)

There are some tweaks you can usually do on the server/host side as well. That’s particularly helpful if you use Thunderbird on multiple devices, such as desktop and phone.

Hopefully it will be even easier over time to sync settings between devices — I’d love to see filters and signatures across devices one day.

…And other signs that you may be in a cult.

I remember experts saying 5 or 10 years ago that the increased standardization and centralization of the internet would lead to more frequent and widespread internet blackouts.

First AWS, and now this. It looks like they’re right.

What a pointless question. There’s literally nothing we could hope to learn from examining his specific DNA.

This is like how some scientist stole Einstein’s brain to see what made him so smart and didn’t find anything. Pointless.

The fact that this is being used as an argument against right to privacy is an ad absurdum strawman.
